2 ATLAS INTERACTION POINT (IP1) Beam line Detector II TungstenScintillator Silicon  -strips Detector I TungstenScintillator Scintillating fibers 140 m LHCf experimental method is based on 2 independent detectors installed on both sides of IP1 LHCf experiment Study of  0 and n production cross sections as functions of p T in the very forward region of LHC. Simulation of an atmospheric shower initiated by a 10 19 eV proton 00   n Calibration at high energy (LHC: 10 17 eV in the LAB frame) of Montecarlo codes used for the reconstruction of atmospheric showers produced by very high energy primary cosmic rays
